It's obviously a sensationalist news, so maybe an admin will close it but still, after seeing the whole video I had to post it after considering it a bit ( because the cops were laughing at their actions and... )
http://www.commondreams.org/further/2012/02/09-3
Basic idea is that about 6 cops arrested a suspected drunk driver and put him to the ground, assaulting him without seeing any real threat. Later on, the victim has been settled with 158.500$.
Please watch all the video to understand the mentality of these people. I'm not intending on bashing U.S. Police, because for example, even tho here in Romania this kind of stuff would never happen, another thing would happen, you could get stabbed in front of a police men and receive no help because cops here won't risk their life to save a civilian. But I am intending on bashing police all over the globe because some of them are basically highschool bullies who had nothing else to do than becoming a cop. I guess decency and intelligence is the last requirement to be a cop ( talking about training, and hiring, not the actual cops themselves ). Some police-men are rather honorable, decent, courageous men but it seems that they become a rare breed these days..
Well, I won't mind if it get closed rather fast, but if you think it is watch-worthy...Police brutality common thing so no reason to stay open, but the only reason I posted it is because I heard what they talked afterwards which made sick.
btw : Notice he didn't represent a threat, he failed to respond properly to a police command.

its not any different in the u.s, the cops will never ever risk their lives over anyone elses, if they do its the rare 1 in 100,000 cop that takes their job seriously. in bigger cities its common knowledge that you need to defend yourself, and call the cops to clean up the mess. they won't even show up when you call them if they think there's a moderate chance of being shot at, they'd rather fill body bags and do paperwork.
edit: also, the cop that just walks up and kicks the dude in the face a few times after his buddies pin him to ground, needs to die.

Hm...
So, I assume you two have statistics showing that the majority of police are corrupt and lazy, right? "1 in 100,000"? You got that number from a peer reviewed journal?
Fucking fourteen year olds.

Of course it would not happen in Europe? Not to mention no cop here would point a gun at a random driver. Wtf are you smoking??

You must be one of those then. 1 in 100,000 is an obvious exageration.
And you didn't even read past that. And I assume you didn't watch the video aswell.
But sure I can understand that they need to be 6 to arrest a drunk man that doesn't resist. Seems logical to me. And afaik most of the cops are not chosen on their intellect capacity.

If I got 160,000...assuming 60k goes to my lawyer and other legal expenses.....100k would pay for my college tuition...damn it! I want police to beat me up. I would go through two weeks of hell to get free money.
Anyways, moral is: There's billions of police officers in the world. We seem to have a natural hatred towards police officers because no one posts good stories. No one posts stories about police officers saving lives, or sacrificing themselves for other people.
All we get are "omg police officers are egoists and don't care about other people"! threads...
and yes, one might argue that we don't post feel-good stories involving police officers because that's their duty....but there are just as many police officers dying in the line of duty than corrupt or morally inept ones...I think it's an unfair perspective.

Actually European police and US police are very different, not saying it couldn't happen, but I think it's less likely to happen.
I feel terrible for the guy, he must have been wondering wtf was happening the whole time... Must have felt horible.

Police brutality is the reason I drive the speed limit, and not a mile over.

I can't watch the video at work, but I can say being in diabetic shock is really similar to being drunk. My friend has had to physically hold me down and pour honey in my mouth in the past while I tried to fight him. Dude seriously shouldn't have been driving and should have had his medicalert braclet on. But he still didn't deserve to get beaten :X

i'm confused, i wasn't aware police kick your window and have there gun on you when you stop your car... wtf?

As long as it wasn't Wilford Brimley.

Is diabetic shock something that can come on quickly? I am just wondering why he was driving in this state, the only explenation (besides stupidity) I can think of is if hit him while he was already driving.

Agreed, my girlfriend has been in nearly the same situation, although she isn't actually diabetic.
My friend has had to physically hold me down and pour honey in my mouth in the past while I tried to fight him.
Is this... innuendo? o.o

Agreed, again.
It's not like a drunk who doesn't physically strike anyone should be beaten, either.

It obviously wasn't a "standard" police stop, which is evidenced by the fact that there were like 10 cops on the scene in 2 minutes. They don't use 10 cops when they pull over someone for speeding. It's safe to assume that the guy didn't stop for a while, which is why they called for backup and went in with guns ready.

Good thing they can laugh it up after kicking a person in shock 6 on one. Law enforcement attracts people with bully mentalities.
|
What a bunch of cowboys. Do that shit in europe and you get jail time.
|
I hate it when they keep yelling at the guy do not move do not move when obviously he is just sitting there still in the car, fucking braindead cops.

I think it can come quickly or at least catch one unaware. I think it's very doubtful someone starts driving a car knowing he'd get into diabetic shock.
